One thing about eBay, is that you learn something new pretty much every day. A while back , trusting my 16 year old daughters instinct we purchased some "Dream Pets" to sell . You can see one in this post . The interesting story behind these little animals is that in the 1950s the Japanese use to stuff to them in between toy electric train sets to protect them during shipment. The cute little stuffed things became a hit. Many years later they re-issued them in limited quantities. Due to an absolute freaky streak of luck once they were done sending small quantities to distributors the rest showed up somewhere where we found them. We had some of each of the many pets but just last night a buyer from the UK purchased 13 of the Pink Poodles you see on the left , cleaning us out! While these will never make the Beanie Baby hysteria level , they are extremely cute and retro looking , and that is a look which is definately in now! Unfortunately I have not gotten around to listing all the animals we have but we did get some of them up! - Marty
